Inter Dom on the horizon

By Tim O’Connor (HRV)

Scott Ewen is dreaming big with his best mate Bulletproof Boy.

The Cranbourne trainer-driver revealed the seven-year-old veteran of more than 100 starts is being set for this year’s Inter Dominion Championships after his impressive win in Saturday night’s TAB Golden Reign Free For All at Tabcorp Park Melton.

Ewen’s charge capitalised on the early burn from Its Back In The Day (John Nicholson/Michelle Phillips) and Malcolms Rhythm (David Aiken/Josh Aiken) and was saved for one run at his rivals in the home straight. He peeled three deep from the one-one at the final turn, hit the front at the 150m mark and then held off the fast-finishing Shortys Mate (Julie Douglas/Jack Laugher) who dived home along the sprint lane.

Following his 31st career victory at start 124, Ewen said Bulletproof Boy was likely to have one more run and then a six-week spell before starting a campaign aimed at the Inter Dominion.

“He’s just as good as most of them when he gets that right run,” Ewen said.

“I didn’t go to the Inters last year. I didn’t want to trip him and he’d had a pretty strong campaign already by then.

“This year, being at home as we call it now, we’ll probably campaign him for the Inters.”

Heats for this year’s Inter Dominion Championships will be held at Ballarat, Shepparton and Geelong before the grand finals at Melton on December 10.
